              Very nice cooper S. Used to drive a similar MkII before I switched to the escorts.
              Have fun with it!

                      no this one is still there, but someone found it before me.a mate who has a mk3 cooper found a metro turbo the other week ,off the road for about 15 years.no interest in them myself but getting popular now.always cars out there to find.
                      what i need is a high horse like the others have !

                        A great find, I would love a proper mini! Black was a very rare colour in it's time, it became more popular in the mid 70's >.

                          You can see them in the pictures so er........yes!

                          I had a '68 - FUR 155G great little car. Yours just needs a good mop over - will do wonders and a few details to sort - Good honest un-restored classic. Now if you could find me a 1071 'S' we'd be buds for life!
